It seems as if it is starting.  I wonder if they'll be putting up statues in 100 years?

‘He’s dead’: Ex-Tea Party congressman loses it at Trump over ‘devastating’ DACA deal

“This is a betrayal,” Walsh said. “Look, this issue is different. Republican voters will not line up lock, stock and barrel behind President Trump. This issue got Trump elected, period. No amnesty. Build the damn wall!”

‘I enjoy your ocean of tears’: GOP strategist takes victory lap around disillusioned Trump fans

GOP strategist Rick Wilson, who has been one of Donald Trump’s fiercest critics within the Republican Party ever since he launched his candidacy more than two years ago, took a victory lap while reacting to news that Trump might sign off on protections for undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children.

After seeing the angry reactions of some Trump fans to the president’s purported cave on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) protections, Wilson mocked them for believing Trump in the first place.

Here is the truth about the Trump-Republican tax plan

Have you noticed that there’s no Trump tax plan and no Republican tax plan? All they’ve come up with so far is a bunch of platitudes about how nice it would be to cut taxes, simplify the tax code, and spur economic growth.
Who doesn’t support these nice goals?

The reason there’s no tax plan is congressional Republicans are hopelessly divided on it.
Right-wing Republicans (the “Freedom Caucus” along with what’s left of the Tea Party) are most interested in reducing the size of the government and shrinking the federal deficit and debt.

Corporate and Wall Street Republicans – along with Donald Trump – are most interested in cutting taxes on corporations and the wealthy. They have the backing the GOP’s big business donors who stand to make a bundle off tax cuts.

Here’s the problem. You can’t have a giant tax cut for corporations and the wealthy, and at the same time shrink the federal deficit and debt – unless you make gigantic cuts in government spending on things the American public wants and needs.

The Dems are just standing on the sidelines, cheering or scoffing, while the GOP tries to figure out which way is up.

If I lived in some other first world country, I'd just shake my head and laugh. Since I live in the US, I just shake my head and laugh in disbelief. We're living in the shittiest sitcom ever.

They elected a person who has no idea how to be president and are surprised at the results. They cut off the country's nose to spite the party's face.

None of this should be a surprise to anyone who was paying attention.

Slightly more than half of the people who got off their asses to vote agree with you.

Of course, fuck them.  They don't matter.

48% of the voters were afraid of someone who could make the system function because of the FUD campaign.
